stuparr did not say most photos are blurred. He said that most photo fails are blurred. Don't know if I agree with that, but it is very different than most photos are blurred.

It would seem you are not giving older folks the credit they deserve for the experience they have. I am an older folk and know full well about aperture and shutter speed having used manual back in the early 60's when I got into photography. I know which one to choose for my photography needs and the reasons why.
Pointing out that older people used the shutter speed dial because it was easier than using the aperture ring is simply ridiculous. Maybe you did that but nobody I know was or is that lame to do that. Please sir, get a grip. No offense but I can't believe what I am reading; good grief.

This is what I read: As the largest Killer of most images we take is “blurred” photos and not lack of DOF, why use Av most or all of the time?
Sorry but it SEEMS that he is saying what I thought he said. Not worth arguing about no matter how we read the words.

When notice my "P" mode chooses something ridiculous like 1/4000 at 5.6 for a landscape or flower, I go to "Aperture priority for added DOF and sharpness

I cut my photography teeth on a Yashica 35mm SLR wIth Aperature Priority, so it’s comfortable. I want to use the best aperture for my subjects and if I can I try to use my lens’ best aperature setting. If the light changes rapidly, I’ll use Auto ISO.

Images that are "killed" Not most photos. It is a subset.

Whatever and how you want to reword things. Not worth arguing about to me. You can if you choose.

In aperture priority I'm more concerned about shutter speed then DOF while maintaining the lowest ISO that I can. That approach depends on the camera. In my full frame camera DOF is more critical while maintaining the lowest ISO possible is less critical. However, I still like "A" since I can control DOF with it while keeping one eye on the shutter speed, of course.

I shoot Av most of the time because when the light keeps changing, all you need to do it open up and shoot. Once in a while the shutter speed drops down to a speed too slow and you get blurry pics, but if that happens I just increase the ISO. If shooting Tv I have always had more underexposed pictures than I know what to do with. This is because when the light drops the camera opens up as far as it can and when it reaches wide open and can't open any more you start getting underexposed image. With Av, it's the other way around. You open up with low light and when the light drops even lower the most that will happen is the shutter will really get slow. I can usually hear it get slow and simply up the ISO. I usually know when it's going to happen because of experience and up the ISO before this happens.

I'm not sure how to define "good sports photos"; I do know that I noticed deep DoF on "Final Four" pictures posted at MSNBC.
I think some of the best sports photos around are the action shots in Sports Illustrated. They occasionally have shots of the entire venue which requires a larger DOF but that is a different subject.

This is certainly an obnoxious reply. If you have nothing to add to this discussion except a snide comment, why are you here?
